Hopefully someone will give you the straight dope...
Sadly if they are AOK someone without ettiquette will buy them out from under you and wont even thank you for the lead...Billbert

Wish I could offer good advice..cant..

What about placing it on hold awaiting opinions here.
Or just buy them and if they turn out to be bad, knowing Bill, he will not make a problem taking it back..

fine

[Pascal Bernhard]

Thanks for the opinions

As read from an other member :

"They are made of proper materials and the base color is the correct blue-green. However, there are so easy to make, that I always worry.

I have also seen more common pipings removed, after the board was disassembled, and blacl/aluminum piping added.

The price should not be too high when they are not with cloth RZM tags, as they would have been when issued".

Thoughts about this comment above (with which I am completely in agreement) ?

Of course, without a so called "in hand" examination it's really difficult to tell more...

Thanks
Pascal

All the ones I have had, had embroidered cyphers on them, but they were constructed identically. Technically there is nothing wrong with them. The tampered with ones I have seen were fairly easy to detect.

They are absolute original and unplayed with, Bill is a very honest person and got those out from a vet lot when I am right. I am sure he even can give you more details when needed directly.

[Pascal Bernhard]

Bill is a very honest person.

Robert I'm sure about that! But nobody can praise to know everything !

[Robert H]

absolutely right

[Felix]

They look fine to me as well... Honest pair...
Good trait is the the joint for the two pices of grey felt can be seen...

I am trying to buy a set of these from a Vet's Sons lot. They look just like these and have no other markings on them. They are also just as mint. May have just been left-over from when the uniform regs changed?
